After the Boston Celtics waived his partially guaranteed contract before the start of the regular season, Jabari Parker has returned to the team on a non-guaranteed deal. He recently elaborated on his re-signing, expressing how the 617 “was the right place to be”: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just knew (Boston) was the right place to be. I knew that,\u201d Parker said per MassLive.<\/a> \u201cThis is a winning team and iron sharpens iron, so if anything, I\u2019m going to get better here playing against the guys every day, being around true competitors, and obviously get a chance for me to learn. So this is just a great situation just because I\u2019m just grateful for it and I\u2019m counting my blessings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n After collecting three DNP-CDs as the C’s started the season, Parker played a huge part in the Celtics’ overtime win over the Charlotte Hornets. He finished with 13 points and 5 rebounds in only 17 minutes of action. His contributions in the game was a reflection of what head coach Ime Udoka told him prior to the game: be ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCoach told me before the game just to be prepared,\u201d Parker said. \u201cBut like every other game, every game, especially\u2014I\u2019m always keeping the same mentality, just staying ready, because I enjoy the game of basketball. So I just do what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 triples & this \ud83d\udca5 for Jabari Parker in Q1!
